Pros

There was free breakfast on some days

Cons

The overall environment was bad once my company was acquired. The new manager micromanaged us and expected us to pull weight that simply wasn't there. I also had to shrink my skill set in order to perform my duties. Before acquisition, I was able to put my hands in all sectors of my department. I wouldn't mind going back, just not under the same manager.

Pros

Hard to say any if at all. I get a paycheck (that took months to be paid correctly)

Cons

No wage increase despite others making way over SCA limits, no adjustments for cost of living, same people recognized for doing bare minimum, insurance premiums are insane, no allowance for unpaid leave, PM totally unaware of what even happens on the contract, no one in upper management takes accountability for mistakes and contractors are blamed, many inadequate hires made just to have a warm body
